Poll Everywhere

Economics Question

Poll everywhere is a simple site which will allow you to ask questions, assess students, and gain feedback using the internet and cell phones. This site has you write your own true false questions, polls, or multiple choice questions and will then assign each answer a specific number. Students can then go online or use their cell phones to respond and the teacher will gain instant feed back from the website. Teachers can also see what other polls or questions have been asked from all the users of this website and use them in their own classroom. This is a great way to get students involved in answering questions without having to raise their hand or pick on students in class.
